WHAT IT DOES

What wa_archive_chat does on WA MCP

AI agents use wa_archive_chat to create or update resources in WA MCP, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your WA MCP environment.

RISK

Why wa_archive_chat is rated Medium

Archiving a chat is a write operation that changes metadata (visibility/organization state) but is fully reversible — the chat can be unarchived to restore its original state. No data is destroyed, no code is executed, and no financial impact occurs. This is a standard write operation with minimal blast radius.

From the tool's definition Tool performs 'Archive or unarchive a chat' — a reversible state change that modifies chat visibility without deleting data or executing external code.
